One Job, Two Jobs, Three & Four . . . Start with one and end with more :)

Have you ever noticed that one job

always leads you on a path 

to more jobs?

My old cafe' curtains in the bedroom

were faded and looking a bit sad.

So I decided it was time to make new ones.

 
That lead to washing the windows 
inside and out.

And to wash the windows outside,
I had to prune back the roses.

They are thorny and will
attack you if you're not careful.

 That means removing the screens 
and washing them, too.

This is the new curtains,
with the sun shining through them.

 Also, the old $10 desk after painting it white.







I found it at a yard sale this summer.

It was $10 because the center drawer
is missing.

This chair was another yard sale find
from years ago.
I painted it in a chippy shabby chic
and used French transfers made on my 
computer to create the fabric
for the seat.

This old hanger holding vintage
embroidery.
The hanger was a gift 
from my dear friend and neighbor, Shirley :)

 Notice the cameo . . .
it is one of my treasured possessions.
Steve bought it for me for our first anniversary.
He only had $3 to spend . . . that was 1977:)
I love it and will treasure it always.

 Back to my new curtains.
The cafes' are the ones I just made.
The long drapes I made when we bought 
our home 5 years ago.
They are made from 
Home Depot painter's canvas.
I trimmed them with yard sale buttons 
on the upper taps
and cotton lace and handkerchiefs on the hem.

Well that's my post.

If you are still here,
thanks for hanging in there and reading it all.
Sometimes I can get a little long in the mouth, LOL.

Here's wishing you all a lovely day.
God bless you . . .
and keep smiling!
